Bryant hasn’t played an NFL game since 2017 season with Cowboys. After Dallas released him in early 2018, the veteran WR took his time to find a new team before signing with New Orleans Saints in Week 10. However, before he had a chance to step on the field, he ended up tearing his Achilles tendon during practice.
Dez Bryant spent the first eight years of his career with Dallas Cowboys, who took him 24th overall in the 2010 draft. During his time with the organization, Bryant made three Pro Bowls while earning First-team All-Pro and leading the league in touchdowns in 2014.
Bryant’s NFL career stats include 531 receptions for 7,459 yards and 73 TDs.

The Browns expressed interest in signing the 29-year-old Pro Bowler in July after their starting wide receiver Josh Gordon left the team to focus on his health. Then the team’s general manager John Dorsey told reporters before the preseason game against the New York Giants that he tried to call the player, but Dez Bryant didn’t return his calls.
“He won’t return any phone calls,” – said Dorsey. “… Maybe he’s still thinking about other stuff.”
It looks like Bryant wouldn’t mind playing in Cleveland after all. After Dorsey’s comments, Bryant went on Twitter, writing that he “wouldn’t mind playing for the Browns.”
For real… I wouldn’t mind playing for the browns.. I just want to be right first https://t.co/svDXxKKYkg

After spending eight years with the Cowboys, Dez Bryant was released by the team in April. Several teams became interested immediately, with Baltimore Ravens striking first and offering the player a multi-year deal. Still, Bryant decided to refuse the offer, wanting to sign a one-year contract and prove his worth in 2018 so he could ask for a more lucrative paycheck next summer.
At the start of his free agency, Bryant reportedly only wanted to sign for a contender. But considering the fact that there is a surprising lack of interest for his services by league’s top teams, now the struggling Browns might be a good fit. This is of course if he can handle not being the first receiving option anymore.
